2.4.3 Running On-Demand With or Without the Daemon

When running on-demand, if the daemon is running all prompts, then the daemon answers where possible including the passwords.

To run health checks on-demand with or without the daemon:

  1. To run health checks on-demand if the daemon is running, use the –daemon option.
    $ ./orachk –daemon
    $ ./exachk –daemon
  2. To avoid connecting to the daemon process, meaning the tool to interactively prompt you as required, use the –nodaemon option.
    $ ./orachk –nodaemon
    $ ./exachk –nodaemon

Note:

If you are running database pre-upgrade checks (-u –o pre) and if the daemon is running, then you must use the –nodaemon option.
